Quick question for people who know such things:

I'm trying to do a random image component for my personal site.  I found a way to do it using my Coppermine sql database, but I need to provide the db user name and db password for the utility to work.  I checked mySQL, and I can't find that info.  How can I find that?  I tried my the admin username/pw combo that I established for the Coppermine site, and that wasn't right.

Any ideas?

Whooosh...

That's the sound your post made as it flew right over my head.

And I saw that you replied and thought, hey Dio knows...great.  Imagine my disappointment.

What version of Coppermine are you running?  I ask not because I'm necessarily familiar with the program, mind you, but because I remember reading that earlier versions of Coppermine had a password security vulnerability.

Thanks.  Latest version.  They addressed that, I think.

I'll give that a shot, thanks.  I was just thinking that there was a place in myPHPadmin that I could check to see that info easily.  Pipe dream, I guess.

Is there a config file somewhere that gets loaded via a require or something? If so, you'll probably find what you need in there.
